Research

What I am working on.

My area of specialization is philosophy of mind. I am also interested in philosophy of psychology and cognitive science, as well as to debates in moral, social and feminist philosophy.

Much of my research has been informed by psychology and some by the social sciences.

I have a long.standing interest in deviations from an overtly rational model of the mind. I also have a long standing interest in situating human cognition in a social context.

Currently I am working on implicit bias. I have also been working on emotions. My publications are here and recent and upcoming talks and events are here.
